59th Annual Festival of Lessons & Carols

The Albion College Concert Choir and Briton Singers will present the 59th Annual Festival of Lessons and Carols on Sunday, December 7, at 7:00 pm in Goodrich Chapel.

The Service of Nine Lessons and Carols was designed by Archbishop E. W. Benson for use in the cathedral at Truro, England. The first formal event was held there on Christmas Eve, 1880. The service was later simplified and modified for use in King’s College Chapel, Cambridge, in 1918. The late David L. Strickler introduced the service to Albion College in 1966 and it has been a cherished tradition ever since. Jacqueline Livesay will join us as guest organist.
